     Well I was born on the 4th of December in the year 1998 . Little did i know that on this very day , so many important historical events have taken place , some of which have changed mankind forever . For example , in the year 1110 , the Syrian harbour city of Saida surrendered to the Crusaders . It went on to become the centre of the Lordship of Sidon , which was an important lordship in the Kingdom of Jerusalaem at that time . 

     Furthermore , the Treaty of Paris was also signed on this very day further down the road , in the year 1259 . This treaty was signed between the king of England at that time , King Henry III and the French King , King Louis IX . This important agreement finally managed to end years of conflict between the Capetian and the Plantagenet dynasties .  

   Other than that , the Byzantine general Belisarius managed to complete the conquest of Sicily ,defeating the Ostrogothic garrisonof Syracruse , thus ending his consulship for the many , many yeasr to come on the 4th of December 535 . This conquest served as the base for the upcoming war against Italy , which they were doomed to lose . 

     As you can see , the 4th of December is indeed an important date in world history . From the many interesting events that occured on this very date , there are many valuable lessons to be learnt . First of all ,  we must be brave and courageous in everything that we do or aim to do in life , be it in studies or in sports . Last but not least , we have to dream big , because only then can our dreams come true .
